New GingerScraps Buffet Items

I’m having a hard time believing that this is winter because the weather here in Michigan has been enjoyable with above average temperatures and below normal snow fall.  In other words, I am loving it!  It makes it so much easier to get through the dreary days of winter and has given me a burst of energy.  So, I spent some time giving my blog and logo a makeover, which was sorely overdue. 

I’m also feeling a lot better because we gave up most carbs and all sugar the first of November, which has given me the opportunity to shed about 25lbs.  Probably wasn’t the smartest thing to try to attempt while getting through the holidays but we survived it and my hubby has lost about 30 lbs as well.

I have some new items to share with you.  The first of the month, we release a new buffet at GingerScraps and this month marks the 1 year anniversary of those buffets so we decided to go back and revisit some of the themes we’ve already covered and add some new products.  And we’re also celebrating the anniversary by marking down every buffet product to $1.00 both new and old releases included in this sale for 5 days.
 
I, of course, couldn’t resist going back to our Pet Shop theme and revisiting the dogs and creating a new set of cat products.

I also have a few new items for the Chocolate Kisses theme that we covered back in February 2010.

If you love challenges, I’m hosting the Scraplift challenge this month at GingerScraps and I choose an adorable layout from my gallery created by brenian4ever titled BD-Sweetboy using the kit My Forever Love.
Here’s my take on the layout using items from the GingerScraps Pet Shop – My Dog.  This is our Doxie Baxter.  He’s a big ham!

So how about a few freebies?  I have a couple of pieces of wordart to share with you using Pet Shop elements and one of my creative team members, Amy created this cluster frame using my newest collection, My Forever Love.

I also wanted to mention for all of you Pinterest fans out there, I have now added a Pin It button to my blog posts, which you will find below.  You can also follow me by clicking on the Pinterest button in the sidebar.  And if you need an invitation, don’t hesitate to use the Contact button in my header and provide me with your email address and I’ll send you an invite.  I find so much inspiration on Pinterest and if you haven’t experienced it, you should check it out.  You won’t be disappointed! 

Until next time, have a great week everyone!

My Forever Love + Freebie

Howdy!  Gosh I don’t know about your neck of the woods but here in Michigan, we’re finally getting some winter weather.  Not much snow on the ground so far but it’s cold!  So cold.  We’ve been enjoying some pretty warm temperatures so far this season but I think our streak is over. 

I have a new collection in the store today that is both soft and romantic.  My Forever Love was designed in subtle shades of lavender and green with a romantic feel that makes it perfect for scrapping all kinds of layouts.

It’s on sale through the weekend at 25% off, which means you can get the entire collection for only $6.75. 

My Forever Love the full kit.

Here’s the coordinating pieces.  A set of stacked background pages that makes it quick to start your layout.
A set of coordinating heart shaped alpha pieces in 3 colors.

And a set of decorated wordart using the alpha and bits and pieces from the kit.  These make for nice page titles as well.
 
I’ve also bundled up all the pieces to help save you even more money.

How about a little creative team inspiration.  These lovely layouts were created by both my creative team and some of the GingerBread ladies.


And this one from Brenian Designs.  Doesn’t he have the cutest little face!?
 
Hey, how about a couple of freebies?  I created a quick page using pieces from the kit and one of my creative team members created this cute Facebook Timeline Photo header.

And here’s the Facebook Timeline Header that Missy created using the kit.  It makes it quick and easy to make your profile page all pretty.

Peppermint Twist Collection & Freebie

Howdy!  Oh my gosh were only a couple of weeks away from Christmas and I’m so not ready.   I wasn’t sure that I wanted to design another Christmas kit this year so I settled on a fun theme that can be used for both Christmas and winter time layouts.

They are all on sale for 25% off through Monday, 12.12.2011.

Black Friday Sale & Freebie

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a marvelous Thanksgiving Day and that you survived all the crazy mayhem surrounding Black Friday.

What better way to end the month with another big sale.  I’ve got my entire store marked down by 50% from Black Friday through Cyber Monday and I have several new products to show you as well.

These new wordart packs are included in the 50% off sale so instead of the standard 25% off new product discount, you can double your savings.

I also have a new set of vintage bottlecaps designed with Santa’s off of old postcards and greetings cards. Aren’t they cute!?

Next week, I’ll have several new items for the GingerScraps Buffet and it’s a really cute theme so I can’t wait to show you that.  And if I can finish up the Christmas kit I’m working on, I’ll have that to share with you as well.

Speaking of Christmas, if you haven’t had a chance to check out my Etsy store, I’ve added a widget over to the right that will give you a glimpse of some of the new items I’ve added.  And through Monday, you can save 20% by using code: kwdBlackFriday

I’ve got some adorable snowmen and new sets of notecards created out of my kits.

And you know I’m not going to leave you without a freebie so here’s one in the same style as the Christmas Words Defined WA pack.
